We would need to know what unit you mean to be able to answer.
Rocks and metals are examples of solid materials that maintain a fixed shape due to their atomic structure. In rocks, minerals are tightly packed together, providing strength and stability. Metals, on the other hand, have a lattice structure of atoms that allows them to retain their form while also being malleable and ductile. Both exhibit rigidity and resistance to deformation under normal conditions.
Plates that come together are called convergent plates. At convergent boundaries, these tectonic plates move toward each other, often resulting in geological phenomena such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanic activity. The interaction can involve one plate being forced beneath another in a process known as subduction.
The act or operation of melting or rendering fluid by heat; the act of melting together; as, the fusion of metals., The state of being melted or dissolved by heat; a state of fluidity or flowing in consequence of heat; as, metals in fusion., The union or blending together of things, as, melted together., The union, or binding together, of adjacent parts or tissues.
Yes, tectonic plates can generate friction as they interact with each other along their boundaries. This friction can lead to the plates being locked together for a period of time before eventually releasing in the form of an earthquake.
The plates have different shapes, and they all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. They are like puzzle pieces because many years ago, they used to be joined and then they parted. On the other hand, unlike puzzle pieces, some plates are being pushed underneath other plates (usually oceanic under continental), and new crust is being formed at spreading rifts.

Rivets are used to join metal plates by passing them through holes in both overlapped plates. The ends of the rivets are then hammered over, flattening the heads, which prevents them from pulling back through the hole.
No, metals are denser. They have a more tightly packed crystal lattice structure. Their nuclei tend to be more massive and can be more tightly packed due to their electrons being delocalized.
the atoms are very tightly packed together as there are strong forces of attraction
Solids hold their shape due to their atoms being held tightly together.
Two plates are being smashed together creating the Himalayas.

Both exhibit rigidity and resistance to deformation under normal conditions.
Metals are grouped together in the periodic table because they share similar chemical and physical properties, such as being good conductors of heat and electricity, having high melting and boiling points, and being malleable and ductile. These properties are a result of the metal atoms' ability to lose electrons easily, forming positive ions.

solid
Acetylene torches can be used to weld metals together because they have a higher temperature than the metal's melting point.
